Here is how we’d rank Manchester United’s first-team players out of ten for how they’ve begun the season…
Andre Onana
After a rocky start, the Cameroonian is finally finding his feet at Old Trafford. Since the Champions League fixture against Copenhagen where he made a phenomenal penalty save, he’s been very solid.
Ranking: 6/10
Altay Bayindir
Hasn’t featured as of yet, meaning we can’t rank this one.
Ranking: N/A
Tom Heaton
Again – hasn’t featured. Can’t rank.
Ranking: N/A
Diogo Dalot
One of Manchester United‘s worst performers this season. Diogo Dalot doesn’t look competent in United’s back line. Has had a few decent games – but overwhelmingly unreliable.
Ranking: 3/10
Aaron-Wan Bissaka
Has been injured for some time, but has played well when he’s featured. He’s a big bonus when he’s in the squad.
Ranking: 5/10
Victor Lindelof
Has been surprisingly solid and has proven useful in terms of versatility, slotting in at left-back on a few occasions. He deserves credit this season.
Ranking: 6/10
Harry Maguire
Arguably Manchester United’s stand-out performer this season – which is a chaotic statement given Harry Maguire‘s career at Old Trafford. Immense.
Ranking: 8/10
Lisandro Martinez
Played in the opening few fixtures and wasn’t his usual self – then got injured. Not a good season for the butcher.
Ranking: 3/10
Raphael Varane
Has lost more than a yard or two of pace. Fallen out of favour, ultimately being dropped for Jonny Evans. Time may be ticking at United for Raphael Varane.
Ranking: 3/10
Jonny Evans
Has been fantastic all things considered. A very calm figure in the back line and always professional. Jonny Evans was a really good pickup from Erik ten Hag.
Ranking: 7/10
Tyrell Malacia
Has been injured, so cannot rank.
Ranking: N/A
Luke Shaw
Luke Shaw has also been out through injury. In the two matches he played, he wasn’t anything special but certainly did a job.
Ranking: 3/10
Sergio Reguilon
Has been fine when called upon. Also was injured for a brief period. Showed promise in the most recent fixture vs Luton.
Ranking: 5/10
Casemiro
Very poor by his standards. Casemiro just looks off it this season and is suffering from the same fate as Varane with a severe loss of pace. He’s also now injured for a significant amount of time.
Ranking: 4/10
Scott McTominay
A resurgence for Scott McTominay this year at United. The Scotsman has established himself as a key figure in the starting XI. Fair play as he looked destined to be leaving the club in the summer.
Ranking: 7/10
Christian Eriksen
Still has undeniable quality, but struggles to see out a full game. Is still very capable of moments of individual brilliance. Has been hit-and-miss so far.
Ranking: 6/10
Mason Mount
Hasnt exactly made the impact he would’ve been dreaming of after his move from Chelsea. Considering he was the summer priority – we have not seen anything to shout about from Mason Mount yet.
Ranking: 5/10
Sofyan Amrabat
Came into the frame strong, but hasn’t exactly wowed the Old Trafford faithful yet. Looks like a decent squad player, but we feel we’re still yet to see the full capabilities of the Moroccan.
Ranking: 5/10
Donny van de Beek
Absent… where is he? Looks destined to be released in the summer.
Ranking: N/A
Kobbie Mainoo
Sadly was injured in pre-season. Has been featuring for academy sides recently, so we’ll be able to judge Kobbie Mainoo very soon.
Ranking: N/A
Bruno Fernandes
Undisputedly Manchester United’s hardest worker. Always at the heart of everything good going forward. The captain is no doubt one of our best performers week in and week out.
Ranking: 7/10
Hannibal Mejbri
Hannibal Mejbri is a lively player when he’s on the pitch. He has had a few excellent games but has also had a few more to forget. He needs to find a level of consistency.
Ranking: 6/10
Amad Diallo
Will soon be returning from injury.
Ranking: N/A
Antony
Seriously woeful. The Brazilian doesn’t seem to offer anything to the Manchester United attack this season. The only way is up hopefully for the 23-year-old.
Ranking: 2/10
Facundo Pellistri
Similar to Hannibal, needs to fund a level of consistency. Has definitely shown promise, but probably needs a consistent run of games to show what he’s made of.
Ranking: 5/10
Anthony Martial
Massively unreliable and hideous when called upon. Anthony Martial‘s time is well and truly up at Old Trafford.
Ranking: 1/10
Marcus Rashford
Not been his season so far. The winger looks stiff and uninterested. Needs a couple of goals to boost his confidence.
Ranking: 3/10
Jadon Sancho
The less said about this the better.
Ranking: 1/10
Rasmus Hojlund
A bright spark in United’s front line. The young man shows tenacity, ambition and desire. Just needs that first Premier League goal to really get him going.
Ranking: 7/10
Alejandro Garnacho
Not quite gotten there yet, but always a dangerous asset when in possession. He just needs to get a few goals and assists under his belt.
Ranking: 6/10
